love is.

*
Love is patient,
love is kind.

it does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.

It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always preserves.

1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 7
